In 1983 I left the International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC) and went to Wageningen Agricultural University, where I took the chair of “Land Surveying and Teledetection”. Up to that time I had been active mainly in geodesy and photogrammetry, but at Wageningen it soon became...
The chapters in this volume were presented at the July–August 2006 NATO
Advanced Study Institute on Imaging for Detection and Identification. The
conference was held at the beautiful Il Ciocco resort near Lucca, in the glorious
Tuscany region of northern Italy. For the eighth time we gathered at this
idyllic spot to explore and...
Anybody following the discussions around “Web Services” in recent years is aware
of the fuzzy definition of the term, and a little bit of history can quite easily explain
some of the confusions around current terminology (or use of terminology). The
general idea of using Web technologies to not only deliver Web pages (HTML...
In the last three decades, machine learning research and practice have
focused on batch learning usually using small datasets. In batch learning, the
whole training data is available to the algorithm, which outputs a decision
model after processing the data eventually (or most of the times) multiple
times. The rationale behind this...
This volume contains a collection of studies in the areas of complexity theory and
foundations of cryptography. These studies were conducted at different times
during the last couple of decades. Although many of these studies have been
referred to by other works, none of them was formally published before.
Welcome to the Microsoft Office 2007 Fundamentals Projects Binder! The projects in this binder cover the primary features and
commands of Office 2007 and provide valuable opportunities to apply or extend skills learned in an accompanying textbook.
The 150 projects in this binder can be used with any Microsoft® Office 2007 textbook to...
Recognizing patterns is at the core of man's attempts to understand the universe that we inhabit. Through the development of sensors and instruments, we have extended our ability to gather data far beyond the range and scale of man's natural senses. As a result we are now able to gather data on phenomena occurring in the far reaches...
Numerical analysis is the branch of mathematics that is used to find approximations to difficult
problems such as finding the roots of non-linear equations, integration involving complex
expressions and solving differential equations for which analytical solutions do not exist. It is
applied to a wide variety of disciplines such as...
When we rst started working on the problem of making the kernel machine
approach applicable to the classi cation of graphs a couple of years ago,
our e orts were mainly driven by the fact that kernel methods had led to
impressive performance results on many data sets. It didn't take us long to
appreciate the sheer elegance of how...
BIS 2011 held in Pozna´n, Poland, was the 14th in a series of international conferences
on business information systems. The BIS conference series has been
recognized by professionals from the very beginning as a forum for the exchange
and dissemination of topical research in the development, implementation, application
and...

A book is like a window that allows you to look into the world. The window is
shaped by the author and that makes that every window presents a unique view of
the world. This is certainly true for this book. It is shaped by the topics and the
projects throughout my career. Even more so, this book reflects my own style of
working and...
